Dishoom Kings Cross

Dishoom has been on my list of restaurants to visit for a long time and it is safe to say it absolutely lived up to my expectations. The food was delicious and full of vibrant flavour. The staff were very attentive and the atmosphere in the restaurant was very unique and pleasant. The food came out quickly however we did go on a Tuesday at lunchtime so I suspect weekends have longer wait times. That being said, I would have happily waited longer as the food was THAT good. We ordered the chefs special which was a lamb biryani, as well as the masala prawns, black daal, aubergine chutney and raita along with a side of roti. By the middle of our meal we were very grateful for the fresh Raita which helped cool our mouths a little from the spice in the rest of the foods and my spicy margarita. We rounded everything off with the crumble, which was very tasty. I hope to come back again soon to try more if they’re incredible dishes.

After arriving at St.Pancras we we're longing for a good breakfast. I booked in advance to avoid disappointment if the place was packed. I checked the website for specials before arrival so I knew they had some interesting christmas specials. I chose the naan with honeyglazed pigs in blankets one of the specials. It was so good with two perfect runny sunny side up eggs. Combined with my bottemless Chai and a few sips from my daughters mango lassi made it the perfect start of a very busy day. My partner had the full Bombay which you can't go wrong with when you are a big ester and our daughter had childrens size cinnamon pancakes with cream and fresh fruits. All the food was amazing and most of the staff were great. The location is also beautiful. I love how the buildings got made into a new destination! Fyi I know the pictures of the food might look underwhelming but the flavor explosion is real. I choose flavor over aesthetically pleasing food any day.

The restaurant, ambiance, and service were all truly wonderful, and the food was very delicious. However, the only downside is that the portion sizes are quite small considering the price. I also found it surprising that they don’t offer biryani rice as a side option ، only plain white rice. On a positive note, they also offered us a complimentary dessert for the birthday, which was a very nice gesture. Overall, the restaurant is definitely worth trying.
